Day 1

If you ever feel lost in your life or you want to search for that peace in your life, go ahead and find solace in Jama Masjid. You will feel your calm there.

The best time to visit Jama Masjid is during the sunrise or sunset when the monument is in its full glory.... And it is a sight to behold during Eid Celebration.

You can reach here via cab or take the Delhi metro and get down at chandni chowk station. Head out of there and you will directly enter the main market here.

Walk for a little bit and you may see many tasty stalls of food serving the famous kachori sabji, keema, biryani and the famous falooda or lassi.

Then you can visit the famous Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, one of the historical Gurudwaras of Delhi. Seek the blessings here and Have Langar here to your heart content.

Then you keep walking straight here, you can shop for hankerchief and what not here on the street. After five minutes of walking you will see the mighty Red Fort in all its glory.

You will take around two hours to cover the whole fort and get the whole vibe in.
